[Bug 1885730] Re: Bring back ondemand.service or switch kernel default governor for pstate - pstate now defaults to performance governor

service or the kernel config.

re: new service, the existing package cpufrequtils (and related package
cpufreqd) provides a configurable service to manage governor settings
(and other related settings).  The old ondemand service was not
configurable at all and caused quite a bit of unexpected problems, as
well as 'battling' (overriding) the cpufrequtils service when it was
installed.

> Having a dedicated service could be confusing for people who try to
change the kernel settings.

indeed, it was, especially when there were multiple services to (try to)
control the settings that conflicted with each other.
